Re: RHEL repository for latest GNURadio?

Hi Mike,

sorry, I'm afraid there's none such repo yet (at least to the best of my knowledge).

Just tried to rebuild the source rpm from a Fedora 36¹ on Rocky 8.5, and that failed,
because it needs boost >= 1.69, and the "native" version is 1.66, and even if you manually
installed boost169-devel, you'd need to explicitly set the path to the right Boost headers.
(Also, a couple of things are missing from rocky linux, like sndfile-devel, which is a
hard requirement for the wavfile sink/source blocks, and I don't know whether qt5 works
out... this takes time to understand.)

So, nothing about this is unfixable, but I haven't (and sadly I think nobody else has)
done it so far and packaged current GNU Radio.

Best regards,
Marcus


¹ In case anyone's curious:
on any fedora machine,

dnf --releasever=36 download --source --url gnuradio

to get the source URL;

then whip up a Rocky Linux 8.5 container (I guess rocky Linux would be the same, exactly,
and of course RHEL, which I don't have a subscription for)

dnf install --refresh -y rpm-build dnf-utils rpmfusion-free-release
curl -O URL_FROM_ABOVE
yum-builddep -y --skip-unavailable gnuradio-*.fc36.src.rpm
dnf install -y python3-qt5 boost169-devel
rpmbuild -rb gnuradio-*.fc36.src.rpm

... which then fails due to boost. If it worked, it would give you a full suite of
installable GNU Radio rpms.
